Samsung’s One UI 7 introduces a useful update for Galaxy users, giving them more control over HDR photo brightness. The new “Super HDR” setting aims to enhance the user experience by addressing a common issue—unpredictably bright screens when viewing HDR photos.
Previously, the “Super HDR” feature was limited to the Samsung Gallery app, where it adjusted the screen brightness to display HDR images properly. However, in One UI 7, this feature has been moved to the system-wide settings under Settings > Advanced Features, making it more accessible across all apps.
HDR, or High Dynamic Range, is a technology that enhances photo and video quality by increasing contrast and revealing more details in both bright and dark areas. However, this enhancement often means that the display has to increase brightness significantly, and it tends to do it abruptly, unfriendly to the eyes in low-light conditions. For users browsing social media or viewing photos at night, this sudden brightness shift can be uncomfortable.
The new system-wide control allows users to turn off “Super HDR” entirely, stopping the display from automatically adjusting brightness for HDR content. This is especially useful for those who want a more consistent viewing experience without the sharp contrast in brightness.
Samsung’s decision to extend the toggle’s functionality beyond the Gallery app reflects a growing emphasis on user comfort and customization. Beta testers have confirmed the change works across popular platforms like Instagram and Threads, where HDR content is commonly shared.
With One UI 7, Galaxy users can now enjoy HDR content without the distraction of unexpected brightness changes, offering a smoother and more controlled viewing experience. This update highlights Samsung’s commitment to improving usability, especially for those using their phones for media consumption in diverse lighting conditions.
